Bump? I know that no one has the Asian variant yet, but any idea if it just "may" be compatible with the roms and firmwares of the US variant? Everything other than the processor seems to be the same..

More than likely it's going to be the same. Last year the only software differences were CDMA models which have different modem setups for obvious reasons. All GSM US variants, EMEA, ASIA models were all fine with the same software.
